thorough media matters reports was back in 2006 the tilt of the sunday morning talk shows, and this was when bush was in office, and they said of course it is republicans. of course we all have republicans on the show. they control the white house, et cetera, et cetera. so that was their talking point. so we updated ours when obama came into office we gave them time, and lo and behold, it is the same republican people showing up. >> yeah. >> and more recently i blogged about this february, and again the fair study points this out, women are just invisible. we're talking about the one-on-one news. >> yeah.
